159 missing with 4 confirmed fatalities and 9 injured. Vibes for the families and the first responders.
Some building contractors and permit inspectors are probably a little uncomfortable right about now.

The cause of the building's sudden collapse early Thursday morning remains unclear.<<<
Sinkhole or wetlands under foundation?
Big time vibes.

Crazy disaster. I
Crazy disaster. I understand the building was constructed in the 1980s, so I don't see how any of the original designers and contractors (assuming they are still around) could be liable. But whoever has been charged with keeping an eye on things since then likely dropped the ball. How does something like this happen? I have heard speculation that the salt air could have corroded the rebar reinforcement in the concrete.
Hope they are able to rescue everyone still trapped in the rubble.

Elect a Neo Nazi sympathizing, human rights abuser like that Repugnant Party whore, Ron DeSantis, who doesn't believe in regulations, because his majesty, fat bastard, the cat grabber, told him not to.

Yes, hoping as well! I can't imagine what it's like to be trapped alive under tons of rubble. Vibes to all.

I'm sorry for the loss of life and property, but this just seems like another metaphor for how we've let so many things go to shit in the good old US of A.
